Analysts are an integral part of Princo. The Analyst program provides a strong foundation in business and investing. You will have meaningful responsibilities and have an active role in discussions and decision-making. Analysts often work directly with the Chief Investment Officer and other senior staff on a range of projects including the selection of external investment specialists and the setting of policy and strategy.
You will conduct due diligence on current and prospective investment managers, build models that contribute to in decision-making, and monitor portfolio performance and exposures. Due diligence projects typically involve a deep dive into the investment manager’s portfolio, visiting portfolio companies across multiple industries and geographies, conducting reference calls and meetings with CEOs, and assessing the investment manager’s motivations and intentions. Examples of past Analyst projects include analyzing co-investment opportunities in tech companies, meeting with and evaluating public equity funds in Southeast Asia, and touring retail properties in Europe.
Princo values continued learning and development. Analysts learn investment and business principles both on the job and through extensive training sessions. Analysts are further supported by formal and informal mentoring. Princo invests heavily in professional development opportunities, both firm-wide and tailored to individuals. Additionally, Princo sponsors all investment staff for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program.
